This work provides a clear and simple to use description of all the relevant law relating to the rights and obligations of those who occupy, seek to occupy or manage property as well as the statutory rights and obligation of public authorities in relation to housing. The text throughout is in easily followed numbered paragrahs each of which provides a succinct summary of a discrete area of law. The book does not contain detailed expositions of housing law but describes each point in as brief a manner as possible, inevitably leading to oversimplification on occasions. This is nonetheless a well presented and easy to follow volume and should prove invaluable for practitioners/ advisors who need to get at the relevant law as quickly as possible.
